Well your GPU, the 7770 isn't a very powerful graphics card being a couple of years old, but it is good for someone on a budget but at 1080p, 1GB of VRAM isn't enough for good performance but BeamNG isn't as dependent, as much, on the GPU, it more focused on the CPU. But your CPU, or APU, is good for a AMD processor in terms of single core performance which, for 1 vehicle, is what this game really counts on. Being the best AMD, it still falls behind on Intel, I would this website that shows where this CPU is at compared to other AMD processors and Intel CPUs: http://www.cpu-world.com/benchmarks/AMD/A10-6800K_single.html that is for single core performance. Look, just try to make something of what I just said, it's all good but I'm too tired to make sense with the whole English thing.
Its far from best AMD, A10s are slower than FX clock for clock, they just dont have the additional crippling of the siamese twin cores. Its a mid range rig at best.
Don't the A10s have 1 FPU per core? I thought that made it better than the FXs that had 2 cores- 1 FPU.
"They just dont have the additional crippling of siamese twin cores" Ignore dedicated FPU and they are slower than FX. They are not high end.
As soon as I get my new case I'll have a spare case. I think I'll throw my Athlon 2800+ and ATI 9250 in there for another old PC. Because why not. Should be able to play old games, the 9250 is probably better than the iGPU in my Q6600. I actually have an old case right now, with the P4 in it, but it's an absolute pain in the arse to build in. I should also try to get another 1GB stick of DDR2-800 RAM to put in my Q6600 PC. Right now it lags terribly if I open more than 5-6 tabs in Chrome, or 2 tabs and Steam. It's actually a pretty decent CPU for a browsing/light workload PC so with 2GB I might even be able to sell it.
AGAIN!?! Clicked on "Ask me later" and it booted up as normal, genuine and everything. Must be a Monday.
That's what you get for letting random people work on your stuff. I'll sell you a working key for $20. (If I liked you, it'd be free.)
Anyone here have any experience with CPU coolers on graphics cards? I might do it with an old Radeon 9250 and a stock AMD socket 754 cooler just for the keks. I just have no idea how to attach it. I thought of drilling two holes through the CPU cooler to match the mounting screws for the GPU's heatsink, is that a good idea? - - - Updated - - - inb4 key is already used scam wars: beamng edition
Zipties. Lots of zipties. Also, I have a Bizspark account which gives me access to a limited number of keys. (Like 5 keys for each edition of Windows 8 and 8.1. I only get like 2 per edition of 7.)
I've done this to a 8800 GTS for a server NAS that just needs something to play videos and run a big display, and I had it all stuffed in a small case with no fans. I can't remember the exact heat sink, I think it was an aftermarket PIII heat sink that was just screws into sheet metal with electrical tape to prevent shorts. Zip ties gave it structural integrity.
An 8800GTS.. On a PIII heatsink.. Did it catch fire? I had one. Ran right about 200f with aftermarket paste under full load. (Really good space heater. Like, nothing else comes close.)
i have a intel hd 1000 and its good graphics card becuase its 1000 (greater than 980) and people say the 980 is gud why do i get 0.1 Ferst Person Shoters (FPS)es
I've always wanted an old PC, just for messing and gaining experience with computers. If it were for sale I would buy it just for shits and giggles but unfortunately I live a few thousand miles away from you. I would do it to my PC but I don't trust myself with my PC, I would ending up spilling Coke Life on it or something, consequently causing me to end up with a £700 door stop.
(Un)fortunately not, though it had no thermal paste. I ran my old AMD Sempron 3600+ with the stock cooler NO THERMAL PASTE and it topped out at 70°C, it is technically better to have metal-to-metal contact but surface scratches and a curved surface ruin the conductivity; I, however, still stand by my decision as the CPU never has previous paste on it, and as you probably know AMD has a giant flat IHS. It was also actually a 8600 GTS, not an 8800. my mistake.
8600GTS makes a lot more sense. And, yeah, if the surface is PERFECTLY flat on the IHS and the heatsink then a modern CPU would be fine with no thermal paste. (After lapping my CPU I ran it without paste and the temps were fine. Better with paste though.)
